DC Super Powers Micro Figures – Series 1

In 1984, Kenner began to release the next of their extremely popular action figure lines, the DC Super Powers Collection! This line included heroes such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and many, many more.

Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to announce the DC Super Powers Micro Figures as the newest offering in this stunning line of retro figures. Series 1 includes Batman, Robin, The Joker and The Flash. These Micro Figures were created using state of the art 3D technology. Gentle Giant Ltd. has taken the original DC Super Powers action figures and created a highly accurate micro digital model with the use of 3D scanners. This digital model was then scaled down to 2 inches tall and printed using top of the line 3D Systems printers.

The DC Super Powers Collection Micro Figures – Series 1 from Gentle Giant Ltd. will be made from high quality PVC plastic. Many of the figures will also include fabric capes and accessories. Finally, these incredible figures will feature retro art packaging, and come in a protective re-sealable blister pack.

Marvel Secret Wars Micro Bobbles – Series 2

Secret Wars was a 12 part series from Marvel Comics that introduced the character of The Beyonder to the Marvel Universe. The Beyonder assembles a planet from chunks of other planets and dubs it “Battleworld”. He then kidnaps several heroes and villains from Earth and transplants them on Battleworld to fight for The Beyonder’s amusement!

Digitally scanned from the original 1980’s Marvel Secret Wars action figures and reproduced down to a 2.5″ bobble head format, no detail has been overlooked! These Micro Bobbles feature PVC construction, accurate paint applications, and a metal spring for bobble head feature.

To further capture the vintage feel, Gentle Giant has packaged these Micro Bobbles with a Marvel Secret Wars-inspired backer card featuring original photos and artwork. Designed with the collector in mind, the Micro Bobbles are packaged in a re-sealable plastic outer clamshell to help protect and display these limited edition collectibles.

 Sandtrooper Statue

Imperial Stormtroopers that were deployed to distant desert worlds, often called Sandtroopers, were specially equipped to survive in hostile environments without close support from other Imperial units. Sandtrooper foot patrols were regularly seen in trading outposts and on the outskirts of small towns, insuring order and loyalty to the Empire on these forgotten outer rim worlds.

It was a Sandtrooper garrison stationed on Tatooine that discovered the fugitive droids R2-D2 and C- 3PO just as they blasted off the planet surface in the Millennium Falcon. Their escape with the Death Star plans would ultimately lead to the destruction of the Empire’s super weapon at the hands of the Rebellion.

Sculpted by Gentle Giant’s master artisans, the Sandtrooper statue stands 12” tall in 1/6 scale and is depicted on patrol in the harsh landscape of Tatooine. Each limited edition hand painted piece is cast in high quality polyresin with crisp injection plastic details. This statue also comes individually numbered with a matching certificate of authenticity.

Premier Guild Members will have access to an EXCLUSIVE bonus accessory for this piece – A Tatooine desert scurrier!
